Dream - Fat is an essential macronutrient in baby food. In addition to being the main source of energy in breast milk, fat helps in the development and growth of the baby's brain. The amount of fat in human breast milk varies throughout the day.
The change in the fat content of breast milk is normal and should not be a cause for concern. For those who are exclusively breastfeeding or aiming for the baby's weight gain, it is necessary to increase the fat content in this breast milk.
"The type of fat found in breast milk depends on the mother's diet. This fat may include triacylglycerol, polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic acid and arachidonic acid), cholesterol, and monounsaturated fatty acids," said Jessica Madden, a pediatric specialist doctor."
He also explained that the composition of breast milk changes with each feeding to meet the needs of infant development. Actually, the fat composition in breast milk is already balanced, but if you want to increase the fat content in it, there are three factors that greatly determine it.
1. Breast emptiness
The amount of fat usually fluctuates based on breast emptiness. The more frequent the breast is empty, the higher the fat content.
Besides, hindmilk (milk that comes out towards the end) is richer in fat compared to foremilk (milk that is first released). So, make sure the little one consumes breast milk completely.
2. Breastfeeding
he translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags is as follows: The supply of breast milk in the afternoon and evening usually contains more fat. This happens because fat gradually accumulates in the milk throughout the day
Baby may breastfeed less frequently during the day due to afternoon naps, resulting in breast milk with higher fat content being more abundant in the evening and night. If you want to help your little one gain weight, breastfeed more often in the afternoon until night.
3. Mother's nutritional status
The type and amount of fat consumed by breastfeeding mothers are passed on to the baby through breast milk. Therefore, it is important for breastfeeding mothers to consume food with a healthy composition of fatty acids.
"Always remember, breast milk provides the necessary nutrients for a baby to gain weight and have healthy development. It is the best food for a baby as it is easily digested and tailored to their nutritional needs," messages Madden. Source: MomJunction
